Bribot's Mutant Toys

Wind-up toys made from salvaged parts

Week 4 – Fresher than Altoids!

Posted by britree on January 25, 2010

This car has the best gas mileage ever!  It has enough power to cross the entire downstairs dance floor.  I found an ugly bicycle windup at Urban Ore, from which I removed the gear box that directly powers the back two wheels.  I used the Altoids mint tin as the car body, and then just added a single wheel in front for stability.  There are a lot of possibilties with tins; they look so cool!  Deliver mints across the table at your next office meeting!
